Tell us about a job you would like to have. I was on Margarita Island in venezuela with
a friend. We took a taxi to Playa el Agua. Our driver told us to go to a certain beach restaurant and to settle on the beach in front of it. We did. We had a great day capped off with the biggest steak I have ever seen and lots to drink at the restaurant. I noticed our driver sitting in the restaurant. Seems the restaurant gave him free food because he brought them customers. He took us on the 45 minute drive home. He stopped on the way at a store and bought us some beer. Was really cheap for us too because the price of gas in venezuela is nothing so the taxis cost nothing. There was a time when I loved to drive and thought to myself - I could live that way. All he had to do was drive for 1.5 hours and he got a day at a beech.
